A 'Game of Thrones' Fan Site May Have Confirmed Jon Snow Still Lives

Game of Thrones fansite Watchers on the Wall, which tracks the HBO show's development process as the creators travel around the world for filming, reports it has evidence Night's Watch commander Jon Snow is still alive after an assassination attempt by his own men.

The website says actor Kit Harington, who plays Snow, was seen on the season six set amid preparations for a major northern battle scene filmed at Saintfield, Northern Ireland.

This would line up with recent reports Harington was in Belfast recently.

Just saw John Snow at the fruit shop. He was wearing a jaunty wee flat cap #belfast #kitharington #gameofthrones #got

The battle scene in question reportedly involves fighters from many of the northern houses of Westeros, such as the Boltons, Umbers and survivors of the wildling hordes that escaped being massacred by the Others at Hardhome.

If true, Watchers on the Wall's report would suggest that a favorite fan theory — that Snow was resurrected by the red priestess Melisandre much in the same way that another red priest repeatedly resurrected Ser Beric Dondarrion in the third season — could be true.

It would also suggest that Snow could be leading a final rebellion of the remaining northerners against the villainous Boltons, who have taken over the ancestral Stark castle of Winterfell.

The problem with the "Jon Snow is dead" question is that everybody agrees he IS dead. The question is "Will Jon Snow be resurrected." #TCA15

If reports of Snow's death have been greatly exaggerated, then his survival may be quickly becoming the worst-kept secret in Hollywood. But who knows? Given creator George R.R. Martin's proclivity for killing off treasured characters, season six could just as well open with Snow's body on a funeral pyre.
